Default I know a station that sells 101 in canoga park, $5.90

Hello to all,

I use 101 mix, if I roll to the Santa Monica Mountains to play with my buddies.
email me and I'll give you the directions to the Allians gas station.

The tank holds 18 gallons which is 4.0 gal of 100 + 14 gal of 91 = 18 gal of 93. Therefore when you fill up your fuel needs to be 1 gal of 100for every 3.5 gal of 91 , or 2 to 7 or 3 to 10.5 etc.

Here's the chart:

I always try to fill up with about 16 gallons. The range meter has just gone on 'low', and there is about 2 gallons of reserve fuel remaining.
4 + 12 is easy to do and gives 93.2 octane.
